Unfortunately this is no better than playing a WAV file on your computer.  The VOIP method of accessing the telephone network introduces variable network delays that make it necessary to reassemble the sound at the receiving end according to the time-base in your computer.  The pitch of the NIST tones will be distorted.  The VOIP protocol uses long-term rate adjustment strategies to keep the data buffers from overrunning, but over the short term, the playback rate is not guaranteed to be the same as the recording rate.
